Taking Close Ups of My Cats Chilling Around the House (Cute Cat Photos)

I haven’t been spending as much time taking photos of our pets as of late and I’ve really missed it.

The cats haven’t been super active as of late, but they have been lounging around me for the hours that I am home with them. Each of them choosing to take one of the many beds we have laid out for them.

This week, Beau has been more favourable towards the cat tree and Kalista seems to be more interested in Beau’s bed… which kind of surprised us.

I guess that’s the great thing about having so many different beds set up… the cats get to choose which one they prefer based on the sun and the weather! Sometimes the beds have been rolled up sweaters of ours or even paper on the floor.

I keep waking up with Kalista and Beau in bed now, which is a great way to get up. This morning Kalista was by my head and Beau was by my feet. I actually snapped one of the cutest photos of them together and posted it on my Instagram. They are truly two of the sweetest cats you could ever have.

I’m still a bit shocked how fast they bonded with one another and it’s even more adorable that they pretend they can be completely independent, but really rely on each other daily.

My partner and I have agreed that we think we would like to have up to 4 cats at a time, dependant on how well they all do together. The only worry I have is how well they will get along with one another, especially if these two are this close.

I don’t want a new cat to feel isolated, though I guess since these two are super bonded, we’d just have to find a cat who is more independent.

Well, that’s not for now anyway. We aren’t going to be adopting any new little ones anytime soon. We’re going to love and spoil the ones we have and see where the road takes us next.

While taking photos of Kalista today, I noticed how much more she’s trusting us.

It really wasn’t too difficult for us to fall in love with her and for her to fall in love with us, it’s just… she’s very… jumpy.

It’s always been hard to take photos of Kalista because she’ll either leave her spot to come to rub herself against me, which I have to admit is absolutely adorable, but it makes it really difficult to get a good shot of Kalista.

This morning it was quiet enough to get her flipping on her back for some belly rubs, but every so often she would hear construction going on upstairs or someone in the hallways and get defensive.

I guess the thing about Kalista is she’s always ready to run. But the time it takes her to calm down after hearing the voice of a stranger is shortening. She’s becoming more like Beau, who only looks up if the noise is really bothering him or if he thinks it’s a threat.

At the end of the day, there are some really sweet photos that I’ve been able to grab of Kalista.

She is a really loving cat, who has one of the most beautiful faces. She’s bright and has lots of energy to spare, but when she sleeps she’s even more adorable… because it means we don’t have to chase her to find her!

Where are some of your cat’s favourite places to chill? How long did it take for them to get comfortable with you? Let me know in the comments below!

Pretzel took a few months before she’d let me pet for more than just a few swipes. She’d been dmped and was a rescue from an ad. Brought he r home and she promptly threw up a mess of tapeworms. Found a vet that I could get in to see and got her treated. She finally started sleeping on the corner of my bed and I frequently wake up with her on my “lap” since, because of injuries from an accident a few years back, I sleep on my back and really don’t move much. She even stayed close after I got her spayed.

My sister’s cat was friendly from the beginning since was mom to him and his litter mate and hasn’t since died. She got them as kittens that didn’t even have their eyes open. Mom had been kilted in an accident an she was at the animal shelter when the woman brought them in. Otis now crawls up In her arms and makes it very well known when hw wants in. When she’s busy, he curls up on her desk as close as he can.

who surprised me the most was mackerull; he was feral, trapped, was brought into my office and he
trusted me from the get go. as far as sleeping spots; anywhere !!! great photo’s today; here’s to a great
weekend for all 🙂 ♥♥
